"Do not do to others what would anger you if done to you by others."— as recorded by Isocrates, c. 436–338 BCE
I mean, don't tell him to stop consuming beef tallow.

Well then, if we are keeping with the spirit of protesting and fighting fascist fucks. May I suggest Control Alt-Right Delete by The Briggs. While I saw many punk/rock songs on your playlist, I didn't see this one.

I agree, I definitely can come across as a dick sometimes. Lol.

In general become ungovernable.

Stay in fighting shape. I am currently strong man training 6 days a week. Training in combat sports as well. We would be naive to think resistance doesn't include violence at some point. That goes hand in hand with firearms and hunting for self-sufficiency.

Becoming closer with both our neighbors and communities at large. By building relationships with the people around you. Building solidarity even if it's only opposing authoritarianism. If the government goes after a friend, even though you dont politically align, it makes that person a martyr.

Working to become as self-sufficient as possible. If we are headed to Authoritarianism/Civil war. Our supply chains will be disrupted. Authoritarian governments have also disrupted food supply on purpose as well. Holodomor as an example. This can also build a food shadow economy.

Yeah, scary ain't it. What are you doing to stop it? What changes have you made to your routines to better prepare yourself and your community? Or is complaining about criticism a tool that protects democracy, the only change you've made?

You shared a playlist with artists I was unaware of, like Welles. Who after listening to is actually very good. I didn't mean to criticize, just though doing the same back would be appreciated. But, I understand.
August 26, 2025 at 1:52 AM
That's nonsense. Criticism is a tool used in democracy regardless of the target. You act like we already have an authoritarian government. We aren't yet. I believe we will ultimately succeed in stopping it.

That would then give the government the incentive to punish other companies, so this one that the "public" owns does better. It reduces competition amongst companies.

Taxing the wealthy doesn't have those incentives.
